For over a decade Angry Little Girls! has been a very popular license with a strong following and fan base among females 13 to 30 years old.

“Angry Little Asian Girl” was first created in 1994, while Lee was an “angry” college student at UC Berkley. It became so popular in 2011, that she started selling homemade T-shirts from the trunk of her car! That’s when she decided to expand the brand into the comic strip world with Angry Little Girls! with a syndicated comic strip on Go Comics. Angry Little Girls! centers around “Kim”, the “Angry Little Asian Girl” (most popular character in the book series), she is Lee’s answer to her own anger to a world which she saw as unfair, especially to girls who were in different – in anyway. Lee hopes that with Angry Little Girls! — females everywhere today will feel represented in image, psyche and humor. Lee believes “Angry Little Asian Girl” is the “Pop Culture” heroine in all females, who relates to anyone who is misunderstood and between cultures. “The Angry Little Asian Girl” is Lee’s inner hero and she gets to say everything she always wanted to – but never could!

Daniel “Julius Marx” Pickett has been around toys his whole life. The first line he ever collected was Mego’s World’s Greatest Super Heroes line back in the 70s. He has been surrounded by collectables ever since.
In 1999 he was confounded by a lack of information and news about some of his favorite toy lines he was collecting. Since he couldn’t find the information he decided to pursue it himself thinking other people might also be interested in the same news. He started writing a weekly column on the toy industry and action figure for a toy news site and in a years time he tripled the sites daily traffic with his updates, reviews and product features.
He built relationships with every major toy manufacturer and many sculptors, painters and mold makers. He grew his hobby into a world wide expertise that the industry has embraced.
In 2004 he teamed up with his toy buddy Jason “ToyOtter” Geyer and they created their own website www.ActionFigureInsider.com.
Daniel has been quoted in both industry and mass media press outlets. Over the years Daniel and AFi have been sought out as experts in the field. Daniel was regularly featured on “Attack of the Show” on the G4 network as the primary contributor to their “Mint On Card” segment, and our front page has been linked to from USA Today’s
“Pop Candy” Blog twice. Daniel’s content has also been featured on MSNBC.com,
Wired.com, Fark.com, Boing-Boing, Gizmodo.com, Ain’t It Cool News, the Official
Star Wars blog, Geekologie, G4, CNet and Toy Fare magazine, among many
others. He has consulted on toy lines, books, documentaries and TV shows.
But all of that really just sounds snooty and “tootin’ his own horn” – the long and short of it is that Daniel loves toys and he LOVES talking about them.
